BEST1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein bestrophin 1, which is encoded by the BEST1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in the transport of ions. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 585 residues, a mass of 67.7 kDa, and is a member of the Anion channel-forming bestrophin (TC 1.A.46) protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is reported to be highly expressed in the the basolateral membrane of the retinal pigment epithelium. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally phosphorylated. The BEST1 gene has been associated with the disease, Macular dystrophy. Other alias names for this target include BEST, BMD, Best1V1Delta2, RP50, TU15B, VMD2, Best disease, and ARB.
Some BEST1 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
